INTRODUCTION 


The Court House Board of New York County, being a 
body legally authorized to select and appoint an architect tor 
the new Court House Building in the City of New York, 
decided to make this selection by means of a Competition, and 
to hold this Competition in two stages, a Preliminary Competi¬ 
tion and a Final Competition. 

It first selected twelve architects or firms of architects, 
whose names appear in the Programme which follows, to com¬ 
pete in the Final Competition. 

In the Preliminary Competition, the object of which was 
the choice of ten more architects or firms to compete in the 
Final Competition, all architects practicing in New York City who 
could show to the Board satisfactory evidence by executed work 
of sufficient experience were allowed to compete, and as a result 
of this Competition the ten architects or firms whose names 
appear in the programme were chosen. 

All of the twenty-two architects thus selected, submitted 
designs in the Final Competition, as the result of which Mr. 
Guy Lowell was appointed architect of the building. 

The present publication contains certain of the more im¬ 
portant drawings submitted by each Competitor, (the same in 
every case). The drawings omitted are one elevation, one sec¬ 
tion, and those plans which were called for to be drawn to a 
scale of 1-32 inch equals 1 foot. A plan of the site, as furnished 
to Competitors, is also added. 

The Programme is printed in full with the exception of 
the formal contract between the Court House Board and the 
appointed architect which was annexed to the same; and the 
Report of the Jury of Award is also added.

Board on the one hand and each competitor on the other, to which 
agreement each architect gives assent by submitting a design in

shall any competitor directly or indirectly reveal the identity of his 
design, or hold any communication regarding the competition with 
any member of the Jury or of the Board or with the Consulting 
Architect, except as provided in Article 19.

of the Board, and will not be opened until the design has been finally 
selected as provided in Section 13. 

9. The designs will be examined by a Jury composed of 
Messrs: 

R. S. Peabody, 

Frank Miles Day, 

J. L. Mauran. 

10. The Jury will examine the designs submitted, holding- 
meetings on at least four consecutive days, and will select the design 
which appears to it the most meritorious, and make a written report 
to the Board designating it. Any design which does not comply 
with the mandatory conditions of this Programme will be excluded 
from consideration. 


11. 1 he report of the Jury will be considered by the Board, 
which will thereupon select as the winner of the Competition the 
author of the design selected by the Jury, unless in its judgment 
there is cause to depart from such selection. 

12. If, in the judgment of the Board such cause exist, it will 
select as the winner of the Competition the author of another of 
the designs submitted.

REQUIREMENTS OF THE BUILDING. 

26. The requirements of the Building and a detailed schedule 
of its requirements are given in the following paragraphs. Tor 
the purposes of this competition only these requirements may be 
considered as definite. The sizes of Court Rooms must in no case 
be less than given in this scedule, and the sizes of other rooms should 
be essentially adhered to. When the sizes of rooms are not noted 
in the schedule these are left to the discretion of competitors. 

27. The plots of ground under the jurisdiction of the Court 
House Board are those marked A., B. and C. in the accompanying 
survey. 

1 he building is to be placed upon the plot marked A. It may 
occupy such portion of this plot as each competitor may desire. 
The remainder of the plot, if any, and also the plots marked B. and 
C. may be treated as desired, as parts of the general composition. 

The streets shown are as projected, and must not be inter¬ 
rupted. The Subway passes under the building site as shown in 
the Survey. It may be assumed for the purposes of this competi¬ 
tion that a portion will be rebuilt so as to give the necessary points 
of support between or on either side of the tracks. 

The plot marked D. is the proposed future site for an im¬ 
portant public building or buildings, but is not controlled by the 
Board. 

28. There must be a cellar, a basement or ground floor and a 
first story; the number of stories above these is not dictated, and 
if desired certain portions may be higher than others. 

29. The cellar is to contain a passage or passages connecting 
the subway station corner of Lafayette and Worth Streets and the 
station corner of Centre and Park Streets with stairs and elevators. 
This story is also to contain all necessary space for heating, electric, 
ventilating and other mechanical plants, and such space for store 
rooms, etc., as may be found available. The basement is to have 
access from the streets. 

30. All stories containing Court Rooms are to be 27' 0" in 
the clear with mezzanines if desired; all other stories above the 
cellar are to be at least 14' 0" in the clear.

1. Supreme Court, 

2. City Court, 

3. County Clerk, 

4. Commissioner of Jurors, 

5. Library, 

6. Justices’ Chambers, 

7. Janitor and Service. 

8. Special Rooms for various purposes. 

32. So far as possible each of the first six divisions should be 
treated as separate administrations, each one complete in itself. 

33. It seems perferable that of these divisions (3) and (4) 
be placed in the basement or on the first floor; and that (5) and (6) 
be placed at or near the top of the building. But these positions 
are not mandatory. 

34. The entrance on the south should have spacious vestibules 
and halls, and other entrances should be provided. 

SUPREME COURT. 

35. Each Court Room, or where so indicated in the schedule

the discretion of eachpetitor, ^ 

room 'should 0 have l witness and a counsel room in reasonable prox¬ 
imity to it.

as those of the Supreme Court. The approaches should be separate

Tom the Justices’ Chambers, and also accessible by the general 


AUDITORIUM. 

39. The Auditorium or a Court Room of large size should 
be one of the monumental features of the building and should be 
placed either in the first or second story, in connection with the 
principal entrance. 

STAIRS. 

40. In addition to such private stairs as may be needed for 
communication between the different departments, when placed in 
more than one story, there must be a sufficient number of enclosed 
staircases, serving as fire-escapes. 


ELEVATORS. 

41. There should be an ample elevator service, grouped as 
may seem advisable. It is suggested that special groups may be 
provided for the Justices of the Supreme and City Courts.

COURT HOUSE BOARD 

1 I 5 Broadway 


New York, April 10, 1913 


To the Court House Board: 


GENTLEMEN: 


The Jury for the competition for the selection of an architect for the 
Court House reports as follows, in the matter of the final stage of that 
competition: 

1. Pursuant to your instructions the Jury met at the offices of your 
Board, 1 1 5 Broadway, New York, at 10 a. m., Monday, April 7 th, 1913. 

2. The Jury has devoted to its duties the whole of four consecutive 
days, having held in all eight sessions. 

3. The Jury found twenty-two sets of drawings hung for its inspec¬ 
tion in the offices of your Board. The arrangements were such that pri¬ 
vacy was perfectly preserved, no one being present at any time except the 
Jury and a single attendant. 

4. The Jury at its earlier sessions examined each design with care 
and it has repeatedly re-examined each design. 

3. In arriving at its decision the Jury has taken into consideration the 
varied requirements of the programme, and in accordance with Article 1 0 
of the programme the Jury has selected the design numbered three (3) as 
the most meritorious, and hereby so designates. 

6. This design fulfills to an unusual degree the exacting conditions 
of the programme. It presents an exterior of high dignity and interest. It 
gives evidence of great architectural ability on the part of its author. It 
promises a public monument in every way worthy of the City of New 
York. Respectfully submitted,
